I got my Mirena put in August of 2008. I still have it in, but I am contemplating having it taken out. I also started prozac around the same time, so the weight gain i caulked up to that, but I switched medications and was STILL gaining weight. Since August I have put on about 40ish lbs. My fiance is not liking the way I look now. I am just kinda sad about getting it out because I have enjoyed NOT taking a pill every night and it was SOO expensive. But I hate this weight gain thing!!!

Was on Lexapro for 1year, and gained weight, so I have been on 150mg for a week, I go to 300mg tomorrow. I am uncontrollably crying for no reason. (I am on this for Anxiety not depression.)I have a lack of concentration, forgetfullness, I have problems talking correctly. I feel sicky. My finace is going to move out I am driving him crazy. I feel worse than ever. My Dr. said I have to give it another week.

Oh my goodness, I have been having these very symptoms and I never related it to the NuvaRing, at least not until my fiance mentioned my birth control and I started researching it. I gave birth 5 months ago and have been on the ring since May 2009 and it was wonderful at first. No worries, just pop it in and I'm good. But this past month has been hell. I have had countless migraines so bad that I was unable to walk because every step made it worse. Yesterday I was so depressed that I was washing dishes and started to cry uncontrollably. I didn't want to be bothered with at all. Today I am so tired and weak and feel as if I am going to pass out. My body aches and I feel as if I've worked out but haven't. All of this PLUS the weight gain. I'm 5 foot 9 and weighed 130 lbs and I have gained so much weight that I feel horrible and I have absolutely no motivation to workout. I also have NO sex drive what so ever. My life sucks and I can't wait to get it back under control.
I though that it was just me but apparently it's not. I just called my gyn and can't wait to tell her what's wrong with me.
